Fire Size List File

Output from a FlamMap Run

The Fire Size List file is an optional output text file created from a burn probability run. It contains the ignition point(XStart, YStart), FireSize Acres, and FireSize Ha for each fire used in the burn probability run. FIRE_NUM is the unique ignition ID and can be used to link the MTT_Perimeters output. This text file can be used within a GIS to generate a point shapefile of ignition locations.

As Input for a Burn Probability run

The Fire Size List file can also be used as an input when calculating burn probabilities from a fire list. The Fire List File can be a file from a previously saved burn probability analysis in FlamMap, FSim, or from a text file created by the user. If a text file is created outside of FlamMap by the user it needs to be a comma or space delimited text file with a minimum of three fields in the following order,

1. FIRE_NUM (integer value used as Fire ID, does not need to be unique or in order),
2. XStart (latitude in floating point format using the landscape units),
3. YStart (longitude in floating point format using the landscape units).

XStart/YStart values also need to be in the same datum and coordinate system as the landscape.
